<wrapThrough> (Through Wrapping)

This element specifies that text shall wrap around the wrapping polygon bounding this object as defined by the child <wrapPolygon> element. When this element specifies a wrapping polygon, it shall allow text to wrap within the object's maximum left and right extents.

example:

If this object uses tight wrapping, then text cannot be placed within the maximum left and right extents of the wrap polygon at any location:

However, with through wrapping:

example: 
<wp:anchor … >
  …
  <wp:wrapThrough wrapText="bothSides">
    …
  </wp:wrapThrough>
</wp:anchor>

The <wrapThrough> element specifies that text shall wrap through this object as defined by its wrap polygon. ]

Attributes

Description

<distL> (Distance From Text on Left Edge)

Specifies the minimum distance which shall be maintained between the left edge of this drawing object and any subsequent text within the document when this graphical object is displayed within the document's contents.

The distance shall be measured in EMUs (English Metric Units).

<wp:anchor … >
  …
  <wp:wrapThrough distL="457200" … />
</wp:anchor>

The @distL attribute specifies that the padding distance shall be 457200 EMUs or one-half of an inch. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_WrapDistance simple type (§5.5.3.6).

<distR> (Distance From Text on Right Edge)

Specifies the minimum distance which shall be maintained between the right edge of this drawing object and any subsequent text within the document when this graphical object is displayed within the document's contents.

The distance shall be measured in EMUs (English Metric Units).

<wp:anchor … >
  …
  <wp:wrapThrough distR="457200" … />
</wp:anchor>

The @distR attribute specifies that the padding distance shall be 457200 EMUs or one-half of an inch. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_WrapDistance simple type (§5.5.3.6).

<wrapText> (Text Wrapping Location)
